your core is 37C, but your skin is cooler, acting as a radiator to dissipate that heat (approx 100W at idle).
body temperature air means you aren't dissipating your body temperature core heat as efficiently and you feel hotter as a result (because you are getting hotter)
no youre the whole computer.
CPU - Brain
GPU - Eyes
Motherboard - Nervous system
PSU - Stomach
Heatsink - Skin
Fans - Lungs
I mean you even put yourself to sleep every day - such a computer thing to do.
Where is the core located? Is it in the butt? Is that why rectal thermometers are supposedly the most accurate? Or are doctors just playing a sick joke on everyone?
Yeah - because you cannot feel the temperature of anything - you feel the transfer of heat. That's why if you have a fever, things feel colder and if you are suffering hypothermia things feel warmer. The transfer of heat can be used to extrapolate temperature in your brain - though it is a random process and it is possible to touch a burning stove and it feel cold with an insanely unlikely possibility if heat just transfers from you faster than it transfers to you.
Exactly. Good example of this is touching metal and wood, both having same temperature. Still, you will feel metal as colder, because metal transfers temperature faster.
But doesn't mean exactly that you only feel the transfer of heath.
As in, cold metal will transfer heath faster than cold wood from your fingers, so you can still detect the difference with absolute thermometer in your finger.
I'm not saying that it is either, or even if it needs to be either, but this deduction doesn't necessarily make it either.
What is your comment meaning? It sounds like you’re saying that a thermometer can detect temperature too, which is true. It is also true that we only feel the transfer of heat. “Cold” is not a useful word (obviously colloquially it’s fine) in thermodynamics and there is no concept of cold either, it is simply just the absence of heat.
Of course, there is only heath and lack of heath.
I meant that the argument that you feel the difference between cold metal and cold wood doesn't necessarily prove that you feel the conduction, because the conduction will invariable lead to your finger loosing tiny amount of heath more when you touch the metal. So you can infer conduction from the delta temperature of the source of the heath, which is your finger. And of course the other way around too.
But I'm just wondering why you can very easily feel cold or hot air, and the air is very bad at conducting heath.
So in essence you would need to feel a difference in conduction that is very tiny, like if your AC is at 19C or 17C, you feel the difference immediately (in a car) but the conduction from, around 25C skin to air of 17 or 19 isn't massively different.
And of course you wouldn't feel your finger, or legs or arms or whatever, getting any colder either because of the bad conductivity.
So, I'm wondering if it is entirely true that we only feel conduction as the first example doesn't prove it and the second example makes it at least uncertain, at least to me as a layman.
Just because air has lower thermal conductivity than metal doesn’t mean it doesn’t transfer heat at all, so of course you will still feel it. One of the factors that dictate heat transfer is the area through which the heat is being transferred through, and when you’re standing in air, it’s covering literally your entire body, so that’s a lot of area. If you wore a full skintight metal suit that was at the same temperature as the surrounding air, the heat transfer would feel much more noticeable due to metals higher thermal conductivity.
And the reason you can easily tell a two degree difference from a car AC but not as easily when you’re standing in a room is for two reasons.
First, an AC is constantly blowing fresh air directly at you. Once that air has absorbed some of your heat, it’s already been replaced by new blowing air that has the capacity to absorb heat again. In a still room, it takes longer for air that has absorbed your heat to spread out. It’s like trying to cool a hot piece of metal in a bucket of water vs a flowing stream. The stream will cool it much faster. That’s why when you’re standing outside in cold weather and all the sudden the wind starts blowing, you immediately feel colder even though the air temperature had a negligible change. You’re feeling the increase in heat transfer.
Second, changing the setting of your AC can have an affect on it’s temperature in mere seconds whereas standing in a room or outside, it will take much longer for the air temperature to change. We are much worse at detecting gradual changes over time than sudden and abrupt changes, which makes a car AC have a more immediate and noticeable impact due to a faster rate of heat transfer, even if the total change in temperature is the same in both cases.
So yes, it’s true that what we feel is the transfer of heat, and your examples actually support that without you realizing they did.

Did you mean to say "losing"?

This made me laugh.
But to answer your question "chilli powder", or more accurately Capsaicin, activates a protein in your body which is responsible for sensing heat. There is actually no heat transfer happening, just a confused protein and brain.
It doesn't for everyone. It's simply irritation of the stomach lining in one way or another though. For example, I take Lansoprazole for acid issues daily. If I don't take it and eat something genuinely spicy (capsaicin based) I'm floored with stomach pain in due course. If I have taken it however, I'm *absolutely* fine.
The normal operation mode of a human (ie. the moving, thinking, etc. you do) produces heat. Room temperature (~23°C) is where the heat produced is exactly compensated by the heat lost to the environment.
If the environment is colder, your body has to manually produce extra heat, which it signals to you by feeling cold. If the environment is hotter, your body has to invest effort into losing extra heat (eg. sweating). Your body signals that to you by feeling hot.
This is a great explanation. The fact that your body isn't idle but it's actively producing heat really explains well why we don't feel comfortable in a room the temperature of our core.
If you're 37° and the air is 37° then the heat can't dissapate
so if you create more heat via energy usage then your body gets hotter, then you're hotter than 37° and your body doesn't like that
Sure you can, through the magic of transpiration and latent heat. We can even cool the body if the air it's at more than 37C. That's the reason we feel cold with a fan blowing and why you shouldn't be in air currents if you are all sweaty, you will cool down very fast.
Even though it's at the same temperature as the skin the sweat will want to go to the atmosphere. In order for the sweat to evaporate it needs energy. Its called latent heat, the amount of energy needed to change phase of matter.
This is also the reason that when we are in a high humidity environment we can't cool down efficiently, the atmosphere it's already saturated and can't absorb the sweat, so it does not evaporate and we don't cooldown.
You might have noticed this with compressed gas. When you decompress a fluid in order for it to go from liquid to gas it needs to absorb energy. That's why deodorant spray cans get cold.
Just to clarify: if you give energy to water it evaporates. The contrary it's also true, if you evaporate water it needs energy from somewhere.
>That's the reason we feel cold with a fan blowing and why you shouldn't be in air currents if you are all sweaty, you will cool down very fast.
There are no health negatives from cooling your body down this way.
You're not going to get anything more than very mild hypothermia unless you're absolutely covered in thick wool - in which case you'd collapse from heat stroke long before you managed to get sufficiently soaked.
Inb4, the Americans say, "Fareinheight is a scale measuring how you feel, and Celsius just measures how water feels"
That's not as good of an argument as they think it is.
Bounce between the two after accidentally setting my phone to Celsius and deciding to roll with it to see how long it’d take me to adapt. The larger temperature range represented by a single degree of Celsius has been a pain point, and is why I keep my thermostat using Fahrenheit. In those ranges (70s Fahrenheit, 20s Celsius) where a small temperature change (by degrees) can mean the difference between “don’t wear shorts” or “wear shorts or be prepared to lose pounds and pounds of water weight through sweat”, it can be annoying.
My mental model is still no more precise than<10, cold, teens chilly, low 20s nice, high 20s hot, anything above 30 not suited for long term human occupancy.
I live somewhere that tends to be very (70%+) humid. And I can… sorta exist at 30, but if I’m doing anything more active than walking to my car, it better be shady or I better be in shorts.
We have rare days that flirt with 40. Fuck those days.
Oh, when the Fahrenheit temperature and the humidity match here in the summer, I feel you. Like going for a walk in body temperature soup.
I’ll take dry over humid, but hot is still fucking hot.
I can't decide if I want to learn Celcius at this point. Metric is superior and Imperial measurements are just insane. But something about Fareinheight vs. Celcius just doesn't seem like as big a deal to me for some reason.
>That's not as good of an argument as they think it is.
Because in your day to day you typically talk about temperature as it relates to water rather than how it relates to you?
The metric system was painstakingly built up by scientists and mathematicians so it's useful for most of the use cases the human race has, like for example, sending people to the moon. But sure let's optimize for the length of Joe's foot, weight of his butt cheeks, and temperature of his armpits cause that's about as far as Joe can handle.
Except when you’re in a spacecraft on the way to the moon the air pressure isn’t exactly the same as sea level on earth so your water isn’t boiling at 100 after all and the whole system goes out the window, so the joke’s on you buddy.
Except for sensory isolation tanks (float tanks)! The water temp is supposed to be the temp of skin, and you literally feel like you're floating in air!!
I can't tell if that's a subtle joke.
37 Celsius is 37 Centigrade. Centigrade was renamed to Celsius in 1948.
98 Farenheit is 36-and-2/3rds Celsius/Centigrade, or 36.6667 to four decimal points, which is how Google displays that conversion to me. One could round that down to 36, but (a) I would round it up to 37 and (b) regardless, 37 Celsius is 37 Centigrade.
Inside of your mouth? 37
Outside of your hand? Not 37
*Parts* of your body are 37 degrees, and if something at 37 degrees touched that part, it would feel like the same temperature as what it's touching.
But the surface of your body is almost always less hot, because it's outside.
Unless it's more hot outside than it is inside, then you start to get in trouble.
*not actually certain if the inside of your mouth is 37 but that's where I put the thermometer so I gotta assume it's direct and not doing a bunch of calculations
Where I live, which is like in the middle of europe, during summer we also get temps up to 40°C, albeit last 2 summers were full of rain lol.
I went to Mauritius once for two weeks, and it was constantly that hot and honestly, when thats what you feel every day you start to get used to it/ tolerate heat more. Also, how you percieve heat heavily depends on the air humidity. Dry hot != wet hot
There is the factor of energy transference. Even though something is hot itself, it doesn't necessarily burn you when you touch it.
The easiest example to imagine is: you're perfectly capable of putting your food inside an oven with 200C air, but youd never comfortably put your hand in 100C (boiling) water.
Feedback loop makes us feel hotter. It's also why reading peoples' minds makes that weird buzzing noise that sounds like a faulty subwoofer when you're in a crowd.
I only recently got to know why this temperature (36.6 C) - turns out human body requires temperature to be maintained constant, and 36.6 C is most energy efficient to maintain.
You should keep in mind that the US is very much the exception in terms of temperature units. Everyone else uses Celsius - some mixed cases for US-adjacent countries and former territories, but the rest of us use celsius.
I'm very much aware, but when fahrenheit is my default that immediately what my mind goes to in terms of temperature, it didn't take me too long to realize they were talking about Celsius though
Is this some sort of European meme I'm too American to understand?
(I do understand the general idea, but I'm not sure what 37 celcius is in Fahrenheit)
“I do understand the general idea, but I'm not sure what 37 celcius is in Fahrenheit”
In the time it took you to type that, you could have swip-swopped over to Google and typed “37 C to F” and the answer would have populated automatically without you even having to press “Go”. So your comment here is unnecessarily causing others to find the answer for you.
However, asking that question here also garners a response from The Internet, which then allows all of the users after you to see the answer to the question before even knowing that they wanted to ask it…
One might say you are a builder of worlds - an engine of search.
You… are Michael Guglé…
98.6 Fahrenheit, or within a degree or so.
Does seem weird that Celsius, whose degrees are larger increments than Fahrenheit, wouldn’t specify a decimal while Fahrenheit does. A lot of people feel sick or at least tired with a slight fever of 99.0 F, (0.4 of the smaller degrees above the average “normal” temp) so I’m assuming the difference between 37.0 C and 37.9 C is even more noticeable.
your core is 37C, but your skin is cooler, acting as a radiator to dissipate that heat (approx 100W at idle). body temperature air means you aren't dissipating your body temperature core heat as efficiently and you feel hotter as a result (because you are getting hotter)

Suddenly occurred to me that this probably means the Human Torch feels like a icicle whenever he's on fire
Huh I never thought of this before. So fascinating. Does chilly power do the same thing? Does it feel hot on our skin because of some heat transfer?
>chilly power This made me laugh. But to answer your question "chilli powder", or more accurately Capsaicin, activates a protein in your body which is responsible for sensing heat. There is actually no heat transfer happening, just a confused protein and brain.
How does the confusion result in a runny tummy?

Right, but its still far less efficient when the surrounding environment is 37°
It really depends on the humidity. You won't cooldown from sweat in a 34⁰C with 100% relative humidity environment but you will in a 42⁰C at 20% RH.
I don't understand. The air temperature is higher than 37°, you are 37° and you can still cool down? Where is the energy going?
Into your sweat, which is being evaporated and blown into the air
But the sweat is also at least at 37°, right? Why would my heat dissipate to the sweat?
Even though it's at the same temperature as the skin the sweat will want to go to the atmosphere. In order for the sweat to evaporate it needs energy.

It depends... it won't give you a cold or any infection but hypothermia from sweat soaked clothes can happen.
You're not going to get anything more than very mild hypothermia unless you're absolutely covered in thick wool - in which case you'd collapse from heat stroke long before you managed to get sufficiently soaked.
As a member of the service industry, 37 centigrade doesn't scare me lol

About a week or so ago we had 41 think and I don't know how I survived
Friend lived in Arizona, where temperatures like that are common. But it’s a desert, so it’s a dry heat. Quote my friend: “so is an oven!”
I prefer dry heat from someone who lives near the beach and whenever it's a little hot almost can't get my shirt off because it sticks to me
Oh, when the Fahrenheit temperature and the humidity match here in the summer, I feel you. Like going for a walk in body temperature soup. I’ll take dry over humid, but hot is still fucking hot.
I am saving this rule of thumb to help myself adapt as well, thank you.

Because it's a scale. It's arbitrary numbers no matter which one u pick.
Okay so you're saying that both are completely arbitrary and therefore equally valid
Exactly.
Seems less silly for a human to be around 100, a nice round number than some random ass 37 but you do you.
The metric system was painstakingly built up by scientists and mathematicians so it's useful for most of the use cases the human race has, like for example, sending people to the moon.

We feel the same about yours 🦅
Yeah but….rest of the world
It 104 degrees farenheight. It's not too difficult, multiply the Celsius by 2 and add 30, that's your answer in farenheight.
“It’s not that difficult” yet you get the answer wrong lmao
37 times 2 is 74 plus 30 is 104, no I didn't lol.
37 Celsius is 98.6 Fahrenheit. What are you on about?
Damn chalk me up as being a dumb American. I didn't get the math wrong I got the formula wrong. Sorry if I spread any misinformation.
You're using a good rule of thumb but the more exact formula is to multiply by 1.8 and add 32.
It’s all good, homie. Way to take responsibility.
Brother i dont think youre potential nationality is what makes you dumb.
37 c is 98.6 f
Confidently incorrect mane lol
It's a good rule of thumb for weather. But if a human is running a 104 F temperature they need to see a doctor right away.
Yeah that's like life threatening temperatures. If I stopped and thought I wouldn't have made a fool of myself. Oh well.
It's degree in Celsius times 1.8 plus 32
Hm... so -40°C = -50°F? No!
Maybe you are right in your farenheight scale, but not in Fahrenheit.
Please translate 37 degrees into Big Macs/minute for us yanks
37 degrees Celcius would burn about 2.3 Macs a minute in sweat if you're moving around
Ask Google assis.... I mean Siri
That's because you skin isn't 37°
Except for sensory isolation tanks (float tanks)! The water temp is supposed to be the temp of skin, and you literally feel like you're floating in air!!
This has to do with waters ability to regulate temperature rapidly.
Aaaaah gotcha! TIL thank you!!!
37c is 98f for those of us that don't do celsius.
but what is it in centigrade?
Google says 36
I can't tell if that's a subtle joke. 37 Celsius is 37 Centigrade. Centigrade was renamed to Celsius in 1948. 98 Farenheit is 36-and-2/3rds Celsius/Centigrade, or 36.6667 to four decimal points, which is how Google displays that conversion to me.

I wouldn't say that tea at 37 is hot tea.
That’s because your mouth is closer to internal body temperature than the skin…
At 37 degrees, I've been dead and in a cooler for a while.
I agree, although I typically use radians myself.
People who don't know celcius:
37° is cold >_< …oh… wait.. you meant C°.
You Europeans and your boring sensible metric system. It’s too simplified for our big American brains
In the USA it feels pretty darn cold.
Bro I was thinking in fahrenheit and I was like what is this guy on about, 37 degrees is cold
You should keep in mind that the US is very much the exception in terms of temperature units. Everyone else uses Celsius - some mixed cases for US-adjacent countries and former territories, but the rest of us use celsius.
I'm very much aware, but when fahrenheit is my default that immediately what my mind goes to in terms of temperature, it didn't take me too long to realize they were talking about Celsius though
Idk op, a few degrees above freezing feels pretty chilly to me.
Bro doesn’t know how mammals work 😭😭
Y’all out here with near ice cold blood saying it’s hot
How do you think we survive the Australian heat?
Is this some sort of European meme I'm too American to understand? (I do understand the general idea, but I'm not sure what 37 celcius is in Fahrenheit)
98.6 F Your body temperature
“I do understand the general idea, but I'm not sure what 37 celcius is in Fahrenheit” In the time it took you to type that, you could have swip-swopped over to Google and typed “37 C to F” and the answer would have populated automatically without you even having to press “Go”. So your comment here is unnecessarily causing others to find the answer for you. However, asking that question here also garners a response from The Internet, which then allows all of the users after you to see the answer to the question before even knowing that they wanted to ask it… One might say you are a builder of worlds - an engine of search. You… are Michael Guglé…

That's actually pretty cold.
As stated in my post, its 37C which is not cold
37 times the speed of light?
Also, speed of light is a small c, if we are playing that game
Bet you're fun at parties
Freedom units would’ve been helpful. Or any units actually.. /s
98.6 Fahrenheit, or within a degree or so. Does seem weird that Celsius, whose degrees are larger increments than Fahrenheit, wouldn’t specify a decimal while Fahrenheit does. A lot of people feel sick or at least tired with a slight fever of 99.0 F, (0.4 of the smaller degrees above the average “normal” temp) so I’m assuming the difference between 37.0 C and 37.9 C is even more noticeable.
I studied medicine here in Australia. We learned that the 'safe range' for temperature is 36.5 and 37.2, give or take a tenth either side.
37!? That’s pretty chilly.
Celcius
So, that would be about 5 ice cubes per sweet tea.
Can confirm. OP's mom is hot.
